<\/p>\nIt is important that we write consistent titles for each Omeka item. Because users have access to our titles, we will use a narrative format. Use upper-case letters for the first letter of all words that are not prepositions or articles. In the title, you should use the publisher’s name exactly as listed on the book’s title page. When describing flyleaves and other blank pages, you will need to indicate whether it is the recto or the verso of a another item.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The standard formula for titles:<\/p>\n
[Item Type] of [volume # if there is one] the [year] [publisher’s name] [series info or edition name if there is one] Reprint, [Version Number if there is one]<\/p>\n
If the year is in brackets on the main bibliography because the year is not on the book’s title page, then put brackets around the year in the title. Do not put the brackets in the date field. Example:<\/p>\n
Title Page to the [1853] Clarke, Beeton & Co. Reprint<\/p>\n
This is the standard formula for adding titles for illustrated items: Illustration on [page #] of [volume # if there is one] the [year] [publisher’s name] [series info or edition name if there is one] Reprint, Depicting [subject of the illustration]<\/p>\n
If the title of the collection includes a version number, such as Version 2, include it in the title of the item at the end, with a comma separating it from the rest of the title. For example:<\/p>\n
First Page of Text in Volume 1 of the 1851 George P. Putnam First Edition, Version 3<\/p>\n
Use the preposition “of” when indicating from which book a binding item was derived. In some cases there may be additional front or back matter on a pastedown or endpaper. That item is still a part of the binding, but you should reflect the additional content in your title.<\/p>\n

Depending on the item type, you will use different prepositions to indicate from which book the front and back matter is derived. Use “of” with flyleaves. Use “to” with frontispieces, title pages, copyright pages, and prefaces. Use “for” with tables of contents and colophons. Use “in” with advertisements. Use the form “First,” “Second,” etc. to describe pages in the front and back matter that do not have page numbers in the book. If an inscription is on the page, include “with Inscription.”<\/p>\n

In addition to adding some individual items, we will also need to add our TEI-encoded texts to Omeka. These should be titled using the following example:<\/p>\n
Digital Edition of the 1853 James Nisbet “Author’s Edition” Reprint\u00a0of\u00a0The Wide, Wide World<\/em>.<\/p>\n In the example below\u00a0“Mary Barnes” is the sender, “Susan Warner” is the recipient, “Collycraft Clifton Ashbourne, Derbyshire” is the location from which the letter is sent, and n.d. specifies that the letter is not dated. When a date is provided, use the following form: “March 24,1853.” The ISO date string, used in the date field will provide us with a more searchable date format, but the title is primarily for the readability of our users, so a user-friendly format is allowable.<\/p>\n “Mary Barnes to Susan Warner,\u00a0Collycroft Clifton Ashbourne, Derbyshire, n.d.”<\/p>\n Reviews will be encoded using TEI encoding standards and added to Omeka as a TEI document.<\/p>\n Example Review Title:<\/p>\n Review of\u00a0The Wide, Wide World\u00a0<\/em>titled “A Religious Novel” originally published in\u00a0Blackwood’s Magazine<\/em>, Volume 1, Issue 56, May 1856.<\/p>\n Example Advertisement Title:<\/p>\n Advertisement titled “A Wide-World Circulation!!!” originally published in Harper’s Weekly<\/em>, Volume 56, Issue 5, May 21, 1860<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is important that we write consistent titles for each Omeka item.
